Chapter 1333: 1325: Pavilion Master Lin

"Escaped?"Gui Guzi glanced in the direction the Sword of Slaughter fled, frowning slightly, wanting to pursue, but the distance was too great, forcing him to give up.

This is a cunning enemy!

No!

It should be said, a qualified assassin!

At this moment, the aftermath slowly dissipated, revealing the figure of the old Lian, his upper body bloody and mangled, his right arm broken, hair singed, looking extremely battered and bruised.

He lay in the void, gasping for air with a pained expression.

"Who are you?"

Gui Guzi asked.

"Immortal Treasure Pavilion, Old Lian!"

Old Lian thought for a moment, his eyes flashing with sharp brilliance, admitting his identity.

"Even people from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion resort to robbery?"

Information about the Immortal Treasure Pavilion flashed through Gui Guzi’s mind, and he couldn’t help but sneer, but still believed Old Lian’s words. No matter how reputable a power, there are always shady dealings.

Old Lian remained silent, not refuting.

"Who was that just now?"

Gui Guzi continued to ask.

"Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall, Sword of Slaughter!"

Old Lian answered without hiding anything, intense resentment flashing deep in his eyes.

By now, he understood Sword of Slaughter’s plan: to monopolize the treasures of all heavens and realms, and then place the blame for his death on the heavens and realms to extricate himself.

Therefore, when Gui Guzi inquired about the origins of the Sword of Slaughter, he withheld nothing.

"Ten Thousand Slaughter Hall!"

Gui Guzi wasn’t surprised. To arrive in all heavens and realms in such a short time, only two transcendent powers of the Profound Universe could manage.

"I’ve told you what you wanted to know, can you let me go now?"

Old Lian asked.

His tone was calm and confident, as if certain Gui Guzi would release him.

"No!"

Gui Guzi shook his head, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"You want to kill me?"

Old Lian detected the killing intent, staring fiercely at Gui Guzi, angrily saying, "Do you know who I am? I’m a steward of a branch of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. Do you know the Immortal Treasure Pavilion? That’s one of the most powerful forces in the surrounding universe. If you kill me, all heavens and realms and even the Profound Universe will face utter annihilation!"

At this, he paused, smiling, saying, "How about this? I see you have great talent. As long as you sign this contract, I’ll recommend you for cultivation at the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!"

"With your talent, after being nurtured by the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, reaching the Creation Realm in the future would be easy. Why stay in this small place?"

As he spoke, he took out a contract from his sleeve, covered in complicated patterns.

Gui Guzi glanced at the contract, feeling a chill in his heart, immediately realizing it was something nefarious, likely for controlling people.

Thinking this, his killing intent intensified.

"I have a message for you too!"

Gui Guzi said calmly: "Those who offend the Qin Dynasty, no matter how strong, will be punished!"

With these words.

Old Lian’s face turned completely cold, his voice icy as he said, "Ignorant! A small force from a lowly universe, yet so boastful!"

Finishing his speech, he retrieved a token from his chest, crushing it with force, a divine light shooting into the depths of the starry sky.

Summoning help!

As a disciple of a major force, and a Pavilion Master, he naturally had trump cards.

Soon.

In the canopy of the stars, a phantom appeared.

Gui Guzi looked up at the starry canopy, where that illusion was gazing down at him indifferently, as if everything in its eyes was insignificant.

This phantom wore a purple robe, exuding an aura of utter destruction.

After appearing, the surrounding galaxies boiled instantly, like boiling water.

It seemed that every move he made could shatter the universe.

And this was not even its main body.

"Greetings Lin Pavilion Master!"

Old Lian knelt in the starry sky urgently, his expression devout and respectful.

Lin Pavilion Master!

Similar in title to his own, also a Pavilion Master, but with a vastly different status, as this Lin Pavilion Master managed the branch of the Tianhe Universe, one of the three chief Pavilion Masters in the Tianhe Universe, possessing Creation Realm cultivation.

"What happened?"

Lin Pavilion Master saw Old Lian’s miserable state, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, asking sternly.

Bear in mind, the Immortal Treasure Pavilion had a special status in the surrounding universes.

In recent years, no one had dared to stir trouble in the Immortal Treasure Pavilion, and such an atrocious incident as a branch Pavilion Master being severely injured had not happened in millions of years.

Anger!

Rage!

Confusion!

Various complex emotions intertwined, making him eager to know what happened.

"Reporting to Pavilion Master!"

"Recently, I sensed a martial artist in all heavens and realms breaking through to the rule domain, invoking a thousand Rule Power, wanting to draw them into the Pavilion!"

"But to my surprise, not only did they kill the martial artist breaking through to the rule domain, but also tried to kill me, taking my personal space..."

Old Lian knelt on the ground, reporting in a strained voice, barely holding back tears.

"Killing to seize treasures, how daring you are!"

After listening to Old Lian’s report, Lin Pavilion Master burned with rage, stretching out his right hand to point downward, immediately causing a divine light to descend from the heavens, tearing everything apart.

In an instant, the divine light was above Gui Guzi.

Gui Guzi did not retreat, with a thought, the exquisite chessboard shielded in front of him.

Boom!

The exquisite chessboard cracked.

A trace of surprise flashed in Lin Pavilion Master’s eyes, as he pressed down with his right hand, the divine light bursting with a ten thousand foot radiance.

Bam!

This time, the exquisite chessboard was directly smashed away, but did not shatter.

The divine light, unstoppable, arrived above Gui Guzi.

Gui Guzi’s expression remained unchanged, with two thousand five hundred Rule Power intertwining, forming a sword of transverse force, thrusting fiercely.

Bam!

With a muffled sound, Gui Guzi’s figure was forced back dozens of miles, but the Sword Qi he slashed out also annihilated the divine light.

Seeing this, Old Lian was incredulous—this... this Gui Guzi actually shattered Lin Pavilion Master’s attack?

Although he only summoned Lin Pavilion Master’s avatar, the power it contained far exceeded the rule domain, equivalent to a slightly weaker Creation Realm martial artist.

Unbelievable!

"Lin Pavilion Master, people’s ears have two sides, why do you only listen to one side of the story from your subordinates?"

After stabilizing himself, Gui Guzi loudly asked.

Honestly, he did not wish to become enemies with the Immortal Treasure Pavilion now; if misunderstandings could be resolved, it would be for the best.

"Words from an ant, what’s there to hear?"

"Remember, if the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s words are wrong, you are to understand them as right!"

"If the Immortal Treasure Pavilion’s words are right, you are to treat them as an edict!"

Lin Pavilion Master stared at Gui Guzi, his voice devoid of emotion, with a hint of mockery deep in his eyes.

Who is right, who is wrong.

Is it important?

If it were the four great families of Tianhe Universe, perhaps he would reason, but facing a force from a low-tier universe, even speaking a word more felt like a waste.

Gui Guzi remained silent.

He understood human nature, and knew that no matter how much a weakling spoke, a strong one would not listen.

"Battle!"

He looked straight at Lin Pavilion Master, transforming the anger and frustration in his heart into fighting intent, the divine light of ’Vertical and Horizontal’, a mark of honor on his forehead, shining as he lifted the war sword forged from Rule Power, slashing mightily.

Boom!

The Sword Qi cut through the void, the entire galaxy turning illusory.

Beside him, Liu Bei and Sun Quan exchanged a glance, also launching attacks, two King Sword Qis tearing through the void, splitting the universe, dividing the galaxies.
